I use an old 2009 13" MBP. Bought a 2011" 15" i7 MBP the other day and, after only 6 days, sent it back to Apple for a refund. Just couldn't get used to the size and weight of the 15".
This 13", even though it has an SSD, is getting a bit long in tooth. Although I'm tempted with the 2.7 i7 13" MBP, I'm going to hold and see what the new Airs are like before making a final decision.
I'll be tempted to buy on day one but only if they ship with an 8GB option. I can live without a backlit keyboard (just!), but can't without 8GB. On this 13", I have OS X and Windows 7 running virtually and it's fine, but only after upgrading to 8GB, so Windows 7 can be allocated 2GB.
I can't see the Airs having an 8GB option as they are designed to be lightweight and portable machines and not a desktop replacement.
Refurbs, ALL I buy!
I am wondering though If i should get a new one to qualify for the back to school program. What do you get anyway? Are the airs compatible with the deal anyway?

Yup,
Day one, I'm gonna order me an 11 ultimate. Waiting and anticipating is pretty sweet at this point,especially since I don't have to make my mind up between the 11 and 13

Here's hoping for MONDAY BABY!!!
Who else is with us? Who is gonna buy DAY ONE, and what are you planning?
Hardware refreshes are on Tuesdays lol
I probably won't buy day one, as I want to read some reviews first (sensible buyer? Who would do such a thing!?)... but I do plan - at this point - for an ultimate 13" to be my next laptop before the summer ends![]()
I'll pass, too many problems with the SB chip (Lenovo, HP, Dell throttling issues). I'm waiting for Ivy or ARM.

nobody said there is going to be a back to school program...
Actually day one was last year![]()
Going to be difficult not buying the first day ... especially if it is all that I'm hoping it to be. The wife has the 11.6 2010 model and I just love that form factor.
